II-B Geo questions

For 8.17, I have 96=DP(DP+2(15-DP)), but that isn't a whole number.

For 8.18, I have (DC-3)(DC+3)=24, but it also isn't a whole number.

Am I doing it wrong?

Decimals are okay for the answers here.

That being said, you might want to double check your equations here to make sure you're using the information in the problems correctly. All the answers should be rational numbers (so the decimal numbers are straightforward to input as well).
